My child must miss a day of school. How do I proceed?
If you know your child must be absent, please send a note to your child's teacher explaining the circumstances and date(s) of the absence. We will try our best to get any work together that your child might miss. If your child is sick, please call the office the morning of the absence, and let us know where your child is.
